Our Philosophy
At Trinity MOPS Preschool, we believe that children learn best through play. All activities are designed to provide learning experiences, with the individual child in mind, that are interesting, fun, and hands-on. Our teachers provide an environment that:
- supports the growth of the whole child in developmentally appropriate ways
- helps children learn respect for themselves, each other, and the whole world around them
- encourages children to acquire self-esteem, concern for others, a sense of community, and a spirit of sharing
- fosters creativity, exploration, self-discipline, and a love of learning
Trinity MOPS Preschool and Child Development Center accepts children of all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. As a ministry of Trinity United Methodist Church, Trinity MOPS Preschool incorporates a spiritual domain into our curriculum. Cultural and religious traditions of our families are integrated into our program. The sharing of customs and ideas, traditions and their meanings, help to promote understanding and acceptance of each other.
